We'll swing around, jumping quickly, amidst delightful splendor, beloved, come with me to the dance! Oh dear how my heart throbs, say what is this jest! Let me clasp you in my arms, let me melt, resting in blissful pain; say what is this jest! Oh, the waltz rings out, couple next to couple is swinging, girls and lads, rascals and sweathearts! Fresh, fresh! Where they jump together, couple next to couple is swinging arourid. Girls and lads, rascals and sweethearts! Oh, dear, my arm is draping, amidst the rejoicing swarm, the way they seize you, makes me tum pale, and I would want to fade away in grief. Oh, how the galand flutters, today for everyone in the dance, today fluttering, tomorrow shying, tomorrow, beloved, yours. Er und Sie He and She When I gaze down to the quiet valley, where countless flowers boast in the sunshine. I look only at one, at one. Stepping to my window, when the stars are shining, may all of them be more splendid, I look only at one, at one. Oh, her eyes look blue now, now too upon the meadows, in the dewed forget-me-not I can behold it! There toward evening he mildly gazes up at heavenly heights, for there is a dear image to be seen in the star. Ich denke dein I think of thee I think of thee, when the sun's shimmer gleams at me from the ocean: I think of thee, when the moon's flickering reflects in springs. I see you, when on the far path the dust heaves, deep in the night, when on the narrow footbridge the traveller quakes. I hear you, when there with muffled rushing the wave rises. I ofter go to the hushed grave to listen, .when everything keeps silent. I am with you, regardless of how far away you are, you are near to me! The sun is sinking, soon the stars will shine for me. Oh, if you were there, the sun is sinking, soon the stars will shine for me. Oh, if you were there, oh, if you were there! Wiegenlied Lullaby Sleep, child, sleep, when you sleep, you are being good! Outside in the midday shine, glows red one of the most beautiful cherries, when you awake we will go and my finger will pick it for you! Sleep, child, sleep, the sun boils your cherry sweeter and sweeter, to your delight. So then, sleep, child, lightly covered, until the thirst for it will wake you. Bonne Journee (A) Good Day A good day I have again seen whom I do not forget whom I shall never forget and women fleeting by whose eyes formed for me a hedge of honor they wrapped themselves in their smiles a good day have I seen my friends carefree the men were light in weight one who passed by his shadow changed into a mouse fled into the gutter I have seen the great wide sky the beautiful eyes of those deprived of everything distant shore where no one lands a good day which began mournfully dark under the green trees but which suddenly drenched with dawn invaded my heart unawares. Une ruine coquille vide A Ruin, An Empty Shell A ruin an empty shell weeps into its apron the children who play around it make less sound than flies the ruin goes groping to seek its cows in the meadow I have seen the day I see that without shame It is midnight like an arrow in a heart within reach of the sprightly nocturnal glimmerings which gainsay sleep. Le front comme un drapeau perdu The Brow Like a Lost Banner The brow like a lost flag I drag you when I am alone through the cold streets the dark rooms . . . crymg m misery I do not want to let them go your clear and complex hands born in the enclosed mirror of my own all the rest is perfect all the rest is even more useless then life hollow the earth beneath your shadow a sheet of water reaching the breasts wherein to drown oneself like a stone. Une roulotte couverte en tuiles A Gypsy Caravan covered with tiles A gypsy wagon roofed with tiles the horse dead a child master thinking his brow blue with hatred of two breasts beating down upon him like two fists this melodrama tears away from us the sanity of the heart. a toutes brides At full tilt Riding full tilt you whose phantom prances at night on a violin come to reign in the woods the lashings of the tempest seek their path by way of you you are not of those whose desires one imagines come drink a kiss here surrender to the fire which drives you to despair. Une herbe pauvre A poor wild plant Scanty grass wild appeared in the snow it was health my mouth marvelled at the savour of pure air it had it was withered. Je n'ai envie que de t'aimer All I Want is to Love You I long only to love you a storm fills the valley a fish the river I have formed you to the pattern of my solitude the whole world to hide in days and nights to understand one another to see nothing more in your eyes but what I think of you and of a world in your likeness and of days and nights ordered by your eyelids Figure de force brulante et farouche Face of Burning Strength and Savage Image of fiery wild forcefulness black hair wherein the gold flows towards the south on corrupt nights engulfed gold tainted star in a bed never shared to the veins of the temples as to the tips of the breasts life denies itself no one can blind the eyes drink their brilliance or their tears the blood above them triumphs for itself alone intractable unbounded useless this health builds a prison. Nous avons fait la nuit We Have Turned out the light We have turned out the light I hold your hand I watch over you I sustain you with all my strength I engrave on a rock a star of your strength deep furrows where the goodness of your body will germinate I repeat to myself your secret voice your public voice I laugh still at the haughty woman whom you treat like a beggar at the fools whom you respect the simple folk in whom you immerse yourself and in my head which gently begins to harmonize with yours with the night I marvel at the stranger that you become a stranger resembling you resembling all that I love which is ever new. Salut,demeure chaste et pure I greet you, chaste and pure dwelling What unknown emotion invades me? I feel love taking hold of my whole being. 0 Marguerite! Here I am at your feet. I greet you, chaste and pure dwelling where one senses the presence of an innocent and divine spirit. What riches in this poverty, in this (humble) corner, what felicity! 0 nature, it is here that you made her so beautiful! This is where this child slept under your wing, grew up under your eyes. Here that, surrounding her soul with your breath, you lovingly made this angel from heaven blossom into a woman. Eltra la lay el punteado The tra la la and guitar-strum It is useless, my majo, for you to persist, because there are things which I always answer with a song. Tra la la ... No matter how much you question, you will not distress me, nor will I cease my song. El Majo Discrcto The Discreet Majo They say that my majo is homely; maybe it is so, for love is but a desire that blinds and dazzles. I have long known that he who loves is blind. But if my majo is not a man noted for being handsome, he is discreet and keeps a secret which I, knowing he is trustworthy, confided to him. What is the secret that the maj o kept? It would be indiscreet for me to tell. No little effort is required to discover the secrets a majo has with a woman. He was born in Lavapies. Oh! Oh! He's a majo, a majo he is. Al Amor To Love Give me, Love, countless kisses, Your hands upon my hair, Give me eleven hundred of them, And eleven hundred more, And then .. . Many more thousand! And so that no one may know, Let's forget the count And .. . start all over again. Del Cabello mas Suhil Of The softest Hair Of the softest hair which you wear in braids I shall make a chain to draw you to my side. A jug in your house, My darling, I would like to be, to kiss your lips, When you take a drink. Chiquitita la Novia A Tiny Bride A tiny bride, A tiny groom, A tiny parlor And a bedroom, That's why I want A tiny bed And a mosquito net. 0 Sole mio! My Sunshine How beautiful is a day of sunshine. A calm breeze after a storm. For the fresh air seems like a celebration! How beautifui is a day of sunshine! But you are even more Beautiful than the sunshine, My sunshine, I am ever before you! Core n'grato Ungrateful heart Catari, why do you say to me These bitter words; Why do you speak to my heart To torment me, Catari? Do not forget That I gave you that heart, Catari ! Catari, why do you come to say These words of agony for me? You give not a thought To my sorrow, Neither do you think about it Nor do you care about it. Ungrateful heaii, You have taken my whole life! It is all over now And you think ofme no more! Marchiare When the moon shines over Marechiare Even the fishes tremble with love, so do the waves of the sea undulate And change their color. In Marechiare there is a balcony window. My passion ascends to that place. Where a carnation adorns your tresses. The waters murmur softly below: In Marechiare there is a balcony window. Ah!
